"Nine High Like a Boss"; Kassouf Wins and Shows

Level 9 : 600/1,200, 200 ante

The board was down {2-Clubs}{6-Hearts}{3-Hearts}{q-Spades}{q-Clubs}, and Will Kassouf was on the button with a 19,500 bet in front of him.

"If you call with ace high, you deserve it. You'll be my hero," Kassouf said to his thinking opponent.

"There's no shame in folding," the Brit added.

Kassouf repeated what he previously said as a minute passed with his opponent still mulling over his decision before the clock was called by another player.

Twenty-five seconds passed, and the tournament director counted down from five to zero. Kassouf's opponent didn't act, and his hand was declared dead.

"Shall I show nine high like a boss?" Kassouf questioned before he tabled the {9-Spades} and swooped the pot.
